Sorenson under DDOS attacks
posted in Current Affairs, Deaf, General, Technology, deaf culture |Given that the intense competition between relay services (online, video, IM, etc), I don’t think this comes at a surprise.
There are all kinds of plausible “whodunit”. Maybe the Nigerian scammers were blocked so it’s payback time? Maybe ex-Sorenson customers that felt justified to take action in their hands to really, and I mean REALLY, express their displeasure at Sorenson? Maybe someone doing “dirty tricks” on behalf of another Relay services? Or maybe someone really angry at the Muslim cartoons and just want to lash back, never mind who is the victim in their path? Or the usual culprits - bored hackers with too much time on their hands?
Whoever did it for any reason, really hit Sorenson hard in their wallet. Not to mention depriving deaf customers of their rights to make phone calls!
